“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” Ezekial 33:6

I cannot save and sanctify myself, I cannot atone for sin, I cannot redeem the world, I cannot make right what is wrong, pure what is impure, Holy what is unholy, That is all the sovereign and mighty work of God and it is already finished. Have faith in what Jesus Christ has already done. He and He alone has made the perfect atonement. Jesus purchased a pardon for the entirety of humanity. It is a free gift. One need only ask, seek and knock. Just reach out and claim the free gift of Jesus. God has specifically promised that if you will diligently seek Him with all your heart (spirit and will) that you shall find Him.

The Bad.

The situation in this nation, the only nation that claims to be “one nation under God. . .” is worse on every level than this watchman could ever have imagined just a few years ago. This watchman has been sounding the warnings of judgment for many years. Indeed, all the watchmen have faithfully been delivering warnings. Sadly, it does not seem that these warnings were heeded by any significant number of believers. If they had been, circumstances today would be much different than they are. Remember that the watchmen only deliver the warnings from God. The rest is up to the recipients – you, that is.

Anyone, that is not blind or drunk with excess of the worldly koolaid, who surveys the existing conditions in America cannot escape the conclusion that America teeters on the edge of complete collapse – on every level of society. Everywhere you turn the signs are evident. Even the managed news reveals the sad state of this once Godly nation. Corruption abounds on every level, economic, political and yes, even religious. It is like the days of the high priest Eli (who epitomized corruption at the top) when God raised up Samuel to replace him. In fact, the Bible is replete with history that mirrors the situation in America today. Jeremiah, Isaiah, Daniel and most of the prophets are clear on this point. We would do well to read these historical narratives again looking specifically for what conditions brought down the judgment of God. And, what brought His mercy. This watchman believes that without the mercy of God this nation is doomed.

The watchmen say, “the Russians (or pick one) are coming!” They point to the signs of the times, the beating of the war drums in the press, the demonizing of enemies the elite want to conquer (Iran, Syria, Russia, China), the attacks already carried out against American interests (Oklahoma City, 911, school shootings, etc.) and conclude that WWIII is imminent.

But the false prophets say, “peace and safety.” The American armed forces are the best, most technologically advanced military in the world. American has never been defeated. But do they speak the truth?

The watchmen say, “the economy is collapsing.” They point out that the dollar is done as a global currency, that the prices of most commodities are dropping at unprecedented levels (except just before war or depression), that more people are on government assistance than have jobs. They point out the government spin (lies) about the employment rates and statistics.

But the false prophets say, “peace and safety.” The stock market has not been better, personal portfolios are looking good and some people have even recovered from the last recession.

The watchmen say, “the nation is no longer strong.” The watchmen note the various violent attacks against this nation (see above), the invasion by an army of tens of thousands across our southern borders for years and note that neither our enemies or our neighbors respect or fear us anymore. The watchmen say this is what happened to Rome, Greece, Persia, Babylon, Assyria, Egypt and all formerly great nations. The watchmen show the same pattern of internal corruption in these nations that now is seen in the United States. They reveal that even within the nation several of the states and other groups speak openly of secession and coups.

But the false prophets continue to cry, “peace and safety.”

The Ugly.

The watchmen say, “most of the church is fast asleep and some are becoming more corrupt, more worldly and even blasphemous by the day.”

But the false prophets say, “peace and safety. After all, our god is so good and he knows we are but flesh so eat, drink and be merry in order to glorify our god. Let the world see how we are so prosperous and happy with our god.”

The corporate, visible, church has enlarged its borders but through compromise. The Truth lies in the streets and is trampled on by the paid, professional, organizers and church builders who only care about the financial bottom line. Where are the true shepherds who lovingly care for the sheep? Where is the righteous remnant? Are they underground as in the days of early Rome? Those that want to practice a pure religion, trusting entirely in God are treated as leprous outcasts. True believers that refuse to compromise have always been persecuted by the religious leaders willing to compromise with the world system for gain. Remember it was the high priests and the political, psuedo religious groups (Pharisees and Sadducees) that wanted Jesus dead. This has never changed.

This false church has convinced many that God is dead. Unfortunately, the True Church has been largely silent.

God lays the blame not at the feet of the wicked world leaders or of the leaders of the false, psuedo – church. God holds the remnant, the true Church, fully accountable for this state of affairs.

So where has the true Church been in all this? Thought you would never ask. The true Church laments the condition of this mighty nation and wonder what has gone wrong. However, we fold our hands, close our eyes, cross our fingers and simply hope things will get better. The church has been fast asleep while Satan has been rocking the cradle.

This watchman now gives the Church what may be the final warning. Return unto God while there is yet time. It is time to put away the pleasures of sin for a season, being caught up in the cares of this life, and being deceived by riches. It is time to BE the representatives of God that we were meant to be.

Only the true Church has direct access to God. Only God can remedy the mess in this nation. This pattern of problem and solution is throughout the entire Bible. Let us look only at what Jesus (our Lord and King) did while He walked the earth. His method of operation, His pattern of living, is abundantly clear. He did nothing on His own and put no confidence in the flesh including His own abilities or those of His disciples, or the religious leaders or Rome. A simple example of this is in John 17:11. Jesus identifies the problem and gives the solution. What is the solution? I come to thee [Holy Father]!

Why has no one believed our report? Could it be because we do not practice what we say we believe? Is it because they see no real faith in God demonstrated in our own lives? I pray not. Nevertheless, I say unto you all, the true Church, turn to God while it is yet day for soon the night comes. Wake up! Clearly see that all these ills befalling America are the judgment of God. Remember that God’s judgment always comes with mercy. Cry out to God in repentance and seek mercy for this nation (the very people you love). If the true Church will not cry out to Almighty God in this dark hour who will?

I urge you not to wait. Start today, right now, right where you are. Set aside some time everyday and intercede for America. God’s hand of love, mercy and grace is stretched out still.

In this newsletter I would like to start out by giving just a little food for thought:

The time of trouble is not coming, it has arrived, it is upon us and Satan’s forces are crashing the economy so they can install electronic means of buying and selling.
Once this is set up anybody who refuses to go along with the false religion will be cut off from the money grid that everybody will be using to buy and sell. The bankers will use derivatives to pull down the world economy and install their money system.

They are not telling the public what this “derivative melt down” is about to do. It is such a large amount that the entire world does not have enough solid money to prop it up.

How about Hundreds of Trillions of dollars?

When this wave hits, the world will have no other choice but to set up a new money system, and that’s when they will change over to the computerized debit system using a tiny radio chip inserted in the right hand or forehead to buy and sell. When it happens it will happen over night and everybody will be caught off guard.

Get ready for a wild ride no matter whether it happens this way or not. It will happen very fast. So, get on your knees and get acquainted (hopefully again) with our Lord and Savior – Jesus The Christ of God, our master and redeemer. Only He will remain and survive the coming holocaust.

We believe that God has called us to sound a warning to America. So we have traveled across the land obeying the call, trumpeting the need to be prepared in righteousness (1 Corinthians 16:13).

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. We sound the trumpet of warning that God’s judgment is at hand for not only this nation but also all the world. Time is running out and the events that the bible has warned us of are even now coming upon us. You, and you alone, will have to make that decision. We have great concern and even weep as we pray. Many people do not understand how to prepare themselves. The greatest and most important decision you will ever make is to receive Jesus Christ as not only your Savior but also as your Lord.

There are many sitting in Church pews today that have received Him as savior for fire insurance purposes but have not made Him Lord of their lives. Please listen to these words; Bible believing, blood washed Christians will not have a concern about the end-times, and just remember that there is no end time with GOD. He is the beginning and the end. There is going to be a lot of merely religious people sitting in the pews that will buy into Satan’s greatest deception, “don’t worry you have plenty of time”. We are however warned.

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you.” (Matthew 24:4)

There is great deception that is sweeping across America. This end time delusion has caused many to turn to man or a system, or even to one of many religions for an answer. But the bible tells us that we must be holy and focused upon Jesus as the only way to escape being deceived by the confusion and the deception brought about by manology (mans opinion). We are continuing to warn and alert the church as to the requirement for holiness. Being born again is not an option, it is a requirement. This is another set of articles in that direction.

Eternity

I find myself thinking a lot more about heaven these days because someone I love so much is there, and being in the autumn years of my life, I perhaps am looking to escape the pain of life here on this earth. I find myself like Job, yearning for Heaven. To be sure I don’t want to leave my loved ones, but when I think about what is waiting for me on the other side of the Jordan River. Well, I just get a little bit homesick.

Before losing Ruby (my wife of 47 years) I never really understood why people found so much comfort in knowing their loved one is in heaven, but I do now. I had tried to comfort others in their loss, and many times found that in the passing of a saint, I had been ministered to by the one who was suffering the most grief. I didn’t understand this at the time how a mother could watch her daughter slip away into eternity, or a wife could be by the bedside of her husband and watch as life slipped away, and yet turn and minister to me. I understand more now because what they experienced at that moment was a glimpse of Heaven. When you lose someone you love, Heaven becomes reality, it is much more then a theological concept or a misty dream, it is real. Job was a man who in the midst of his suffering not only had a desire for it to end, but wanted eternity to begin so that he would be in the presence of God.

Job 19:27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Somewhere in the suffering and grieving over losing a loved one I believe God has shown me the final destination He has for each one of His children. The yearning for heaven came when I realized that part of me is already up there. It has been made very clear to me that this life, which we so desperately cling to, is just a shadow of our real life, which is to spend eternity in the very prescience of God.

Did you ever notice how many of the old songs that we sing talk about Heaven? Our choir sings, “I just stopped by on my way home” We sing about our destination. This world is not my home, I am just passing thru.

There are so many great songs describing that city. There seems to be a trend in many modern churches to embrace contemporary praise songs which have very little to say about heaven, but glorify a feel good life down here. I wonder if we have gotten so comfortable down here that we no longer yern for heaven?

We live as though this life here on earth is all there is. We will talk about heaven–the place, and hell–the place, but much of our time is spent petting, polishing and primping what we have here on earth as if this will be our eternal home.

God wants us to radically alter that perspective. He wants us to live with an eternal perspective, we need to put this life here on earth in its proper place and realize we will be in the eternal presence of God.

The Word tells us that true life and freedom from pain and sorrow will be ours in eternity; then why do we so vigorously hang on to what the world has to offer us?

I did not want to lose Ruby. We had plans to grow old together, holding each other’s hands and enjoying sweet conversations as the winter season of our lives approached. We both realized that this life is sometimes filled with pain and we had discussed this, and prayed for strength to carry on. I don’t believe it’s a tragedy that Ruby had the opportunity to be spared from the evil and pain of this life and be in the very presence of God.

It was very hard for me to receive this, and I will have to say that I didn’t at all feel this way, but I had to put my feelings aside and stand on what I believed from God’s word. I had used a scripture many times to comfort others and never realized that it would minister to me one day when in my sorrow this verse would be given to me by a mother who had suffered the loss of her only daughter. I pray that these words will change your perspective as it did mine.

Isaiah 57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

It is not a tragedy to be quickly taken out of this life to find yourself in the eternal presence of God. The real tragedy would be to face that journey without eternal life and not be in His presence. If you refuse the free gift that God has offered you through Jesus Christ, His only Son, then my friend your departing would be a tragedy

When I read about heaven and the promises of the bible, I do get a yearning or a going home feeling. Sometimes pain has a purpose and that is to remind us of the promises of God, and this is one of them.

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Folks, I believe what it says. One of these days I will see Ruby and so many others who have gone on before. I will also see God and the Lamb who died for me face to face, and that makes a difference in how I live and grieve today.

So sometimes when we look at a tragedy, it has no comparison with eternity in heaven in the presence of the King of King’s

Would you allow God to change your perspective on Heaven by meditating on His Word?

Psalms 11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

2 Corinthians 5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

This writing has just touched a few aspects of Eternity, and I pray that it will be as much help to you as it has been to me.

The Watchman

Carl W Sanders Jr

JUST A LITTLE EXTRA THOUGHT, and a question I am often asked. So what is ministry?

Turn with me to 2 Corinthians 5:18-20:

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Webster’s reconcile= to re-establish friendship between. To bring one to acceptance (Ye are my friends)

So the one ministry we have is reconciling the lost to God.

It is not music, motorcycles, boats, car clubs, or any other secular thing that you might want to Christianize and call it a ministry.

Folks I use the old King James Bible, and in it are the answers and the road map to lead a lost person to Christ.

Out of the 66 books of the bible we have to start some place.

How about the first verse you ever heard?

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Genesis 6:4-7 speaks of a society that is so bad that it repented God that He had made man. In Matthew 24:37-39 Jesus said the conditions would be the same when He returns as they were in the days of Noah. When we look at society today, we find that abortion is a right, homosexuality is an accepted and soon to be protected lifestyle, young couples believe it is unwise to marry without a ‘trial marriage’ of fornication, the major television networks transmit pornography into our households, and children’s games and cartoons promote sex, violence and witchcraft. And to the extent that these values may exist primarily in the western world, how well do we send them by movie, television, newspaper and books throughout the known world.

Oh, how soon is it to the glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ? “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” (Genesis 6:5- 6) “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matthew 24:37- 39)

Aborted Baby Tissue: The government is funding experimentation on aborted babies dead or alive. Most babies aborted in the third trimester (6th – 9th month) will survive the abortion process. This is important because the tissue used for experimentation must come from a living baby. Some of the methods used to obtain living tissue are as follows: In Sweden, a procedure is used in which a pregnant woman is put to sleep and the baby is then located and brought down to the cervix. The doctor will then drill through the skull of the living baby and suction off the brains for implantation in victims of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. Similar procedures are carried out on living babies for their pancreas and skin (for burn victims) in which the baby is actually “skinned alive.” The baby tissue research business is a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide. Collagen is the gelatinous substance found in connective tissue (muscle), bone and cartilage. Many shampoos, lotions and hand and face creams contain collagen. Check the label carefully; if it doesn’t specify animal or bovine it is very possibly collagen from babies. Collagen is supposed to slow aging. Isn’t it amazing that dead babies are turned into a substance for people who are concerned with what others might think of their wrinkles? Tissue cultures are obtained by dropping still living babies into meat grinders and homogenizing them, according to the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine. Is Abortion Murder? We are all familiar with the commandment not to kill. But what man is calling a “fetus” is really human life. Consider the following:

FACT: a heartbeat can be detected 18-25 days from conception.

FACT: brain waves can be recorded at 40 days.

FACT: at 11-12 weeks all body systems are complete.

FACT: at 12 weeks the baby is nearly one ounce and about 3 inches long

FACT: at 18-25 days this baby is pumping its own blood, not the mother’s blood. It is a separate human being. In Leviticus 17:11, the Lord said “For the life of the flesh is in the blood . . . ”

The Lord hates the shedding of innocent blood (Proverbs 6:16-17). A leading Evangelist made the statement that abortion was not a big issue because we do not know when human life begins anyway. How persuaded is he by the written word. Even the bible translation he uses provides as follows: “your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” (Psalms 139:16). If you would like more information on Scripture related to abortion, ask for our publication titled “Scriptures in Relation to Abortion”.

If you have been involved with abortion, you must know that God does not look upon it any differently than He did when He looked at the practice of burning babies by placing them on a red hot idol as a sacrifice to Molech as described in 2 Kings 17:17: “And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.” Yet, He desires to forgive those who will turn away from sin. For those who have had an abortion, lay it all at the alter and ask forgiveness. He is bound by His word to forgive and He will as stated in I John 1:9. Turn away from sin, ask for His forgiveness, and walk on with Jesus.

Murders/Suicide: Infants are the fastest growing group of murder victims in the U.S. Infants represent the only age group in which killings doubled between the years 1973 and 1990. (U.S.A. Today 1/24/92.) Is it any wonder these things happen? We are being desensitized to murder: by abortion, euthanasia, TV and the music we listen to. It is the New Age that wants to remove 2 billion people from the planet by the year 2000. It looks like they might be right on target. With AIDS, homosexuality, promiscuity and abortion rampant, it is no small wonder that these things are running headlong into the church. As a Christian, you cannot let your ideas be influenced by the world. Rather, you must be willing to be separated from the world. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (II Corinthians 6:17-18)

Virtual Reality: Virtual Reality is a new hidden danger just over the horizon in this space age technology. The use of virtual reality by NASA to simulate Mars landings and space travel all seems very innocent. However, the commercial world is looking at Virtual Reality as a money maker and new drug that can be sold without a prescription. The warnings given here are similar to warnings applicable to video games that are loaded with subliminal messages and violence. What is Virtual Reality? It is putting on a helmet and data glove or skeletal suit, shutting out the real world, and entering into outer space or inner space as you choose. It can be a way of escape, or, as the pornography people are preparing for, it can be better than the real thing. What Are Virtual Reality’s Claims? The following quotes are from an advertisement by ZYGON which appeared in Omni magazine, October 1993, page 119. Dane Spotts says “LAUNCH YOUR MIND INTO VIRTUAL REALITY-LIKE FANTASIES” and it goes on to say that you can go on “3 FANTASTIC MIND JOURNEYS. Transport your consciousness on a journey to other times and places with three mind blowing experiences. Aboriginal Dreamtime takes you to a time when the world was new and MAGIC ruled. Cetacean mind link puts you inside a whale or a dolphin to experience an incredible ocean world. And finally the ultimate mind trip, NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE, simulates the 5 astral stages of an out-of-body journey.” Just hit the start button and you are in electronic ZEN. Watch out for a soon coming media blitz and video store advertisements. “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:6a) “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (II Corinthians 10:4-5.)

Summary: Our society shares many characteristics with society in the days of Noah. We had better get prepared and remain prepared. Learn to discern the signs of the times. Jesus warned the religious leaders of the day: “When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” (Matthew 16:2a-3). The time to turn to Jesus is now. The time to fully walk in His ways, separated from the ways of the world is now. We need to fix our minds on Jesus Christ and Him only. “We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of our political institutions upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the ten commandments of God.” James Madison (chief architect of the U.S. Constitution)

AMERICA A NATION THAT HAS REJECTED GOD

On June 17, 1963 the United States Supreme Court issued the final decision in a series that forbid Bible reading and prayer in the public schools. Bible reading and prayer had been a part of America’s schools since the beginning of the country. The prayer the Court objected to follows: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country.” God had honored prayer by giving America up to 1963 the finest educational system in the world. The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores were the highest ever. America prior to 1963 had violent crime rate below the national population growth rate. The divorce rate was dropping steadily from the 1940’s and the teenage premarital sex rate was unchanged. By the 1990’s, a separation of church and state was established and everything to do with God had been removed from the public schools and many government institutions. When the Supreme court rejected God and His Word, immediate judgment did not appear to fall. It appeared nothing happened and the country continued on. At first the judgment for rejecting God was not felt or seen, but 30 years later it is clear that in 1963 the blessings of God were removed from America. Looking back to 1963, it is clear awesome judgment fell on America. The year 1963 literally became the separating year between God’s blessings and judgment. For the nations that honor God the Bible states “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people He hath chosen for His own inheritance.” Psalm 33:12. For the nation that rejects God the Bible states “The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:7.

In 1963 the three greatest problems in school were talking, gum chewing and noise. By the 1990’s the three greatest problems in the godless public schools were rape, robbery and assault. The SAT scores have literally plummeted since the very year of 1963. America has paid a terrible price for rejecting God. Prior to 1963 serial killers and mass murderers were almost unheard of. Today they both occur with frightening regularity, and America is increasingly becoming a violent nation. America’s cities have become like those of a third world nation. Sexual diseases have sky rocketed along with premarital relations in our teen-agers. Since 1963 every statistic showing a social problem has risen dramatically while the statistics for things that are good have dropped. America is literally being turned into hell as the Bible states would happen to all the nations that reject God. More police will not prevent crime. More money will not improve the school system. More taxes will not solve the nation’s problems. America needs national repentance for rejecting God and allowing such sin as abortions, adultery, drugs, fornication, homosexuality and pornography to become common and accepted. The nation needs to turn to Jesus Christ as Lord to be forgiven and healed.

The Earthquake Connection: To put God’s warnings into perspective, six of the top eleven earthquakes to hit America this century have occurred on or very near to major abortion or homosexual related events. Five of these earthquakes have struck since April, 1992! God has been very merciful, because most of the quakes were centered in remote areas, or if the quake hit a populated area, not many lives were lost; thus they serve as awesome warnings.

THE SIX FOLLOW:

10/17/89: Two days after a large abortion rights march in San Francisco – Fifth greatest earthquake The front page of the San Francisco Chronicle, October 16, 1989, had an article titled “A Huge, Spirited Abortion Rights Rally in S.F.” Page A3 of The Patriot News, October 16, 1989, had an article titled “Ten Governors Urge High Court to Uphold Abortion Rights.” The front page of The Patriot News, October 18, 1989, had an article titled “Quake Kills 47 in California.” 4/92: Height of attack against Operation Rescue in Buffalo, NY Sixth greatest earthquake (4/25/92) and Eleventh greatest earthquake (4/23/92) The front page of The Washington Post, April 6, 1992, had an article titled “Abortion Rights Rally Draws Half a Million Marchers.” Page 3A of U.S.A. Today, April 21, 1992, had an article about Operation Rescue titled “Face-Off in Buffalo.” The front page of The Patriot (Evening News), April 23, 1992, had articles titled “Justices Begin Review of State Abortion Law” and “Strong Quake Rattles West.” The front page of the New York Times, April 30, 1992, had articles titled “Los Angeles Policeman Acquitted in Taped Beating” and “Down and Divided in Buffalo, Abortion Foes Suspend Siege.” The front page of the New York Times, May 1, 1992, had an article titled “11 Dead in Los Angeles Rioting: 4,000 guard troops called out as fires and looting continue.” 6/28/92: Gay Pride Day followed by Supreme Court decision not to overturn Roe v. Wade Fourth greatest earthquake- The front page of the Los Angeles Times, June 29, 1992, had articles titled”2 Strong Quakes Jolt Wide Area” and “200,000 Attend Gay Pride Parade.” 1/17/94: Day after Sanctity of Life Sunday and five days before the 21st anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Seventh greatest earthquake The front page of the Los Angeles Times, January 18, 1994, had an article titled “33 Die, Many Hurt in 6.6. Quake.” The epicenter of the quake was in Northridge, California, where 80% of all video pornography was made. The Associated Press, January 28, 1992, had an article titled “Quake Affects Porn Industry.” This earthquake was the most powerful in the world in 1992. An aftershock to this quake was the ninth greatest earthquake. Ten of the most severe earthquakes in the world in 1992 were located in California.
